This study examines genetic diversity and population structure in five bumble bee species with different population trends, finding stable genetic diversity but significant allelic shifts and gene flow patterns.

This study shows that rearing environment significantly affects the phenotype of genetically identical mice, influencing gut microbiota, body weight, behavior, and epigenetic patterns.

This study evaluates the reliability of mouse behavioural tests for anxiety by analyzing anxiolytic drug effects, finding poor replicability and high bias in most tests.

The paper argues that reaction norm approaches can improve reproducibility in animal research by addressing environmental effects on phenotypic variation.
